INTRODUCTION Cemented allograft-prosthesis composite (APC) reconstruction is one option following resection of the proximal femur tumor. However, rare studies have focused on the indications and complications. The goal of the present study was to (1) ascertain the indications for cemented APC arthroplasty in the proximal femur; (2) identify the detailed perioperative management; and (3) illustr...

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the management intertrochanteric fracture femur using Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA).
 Materials and methods: Sixty patients unstable pertrochanteric fractures were treated by closed reduction internal fixation proximal femoral nail antirotation from July 2015 June 2017. Four lost follow-ups. remaining 56 followed for a mean perio...

Hydroxyapatite-coated standard anatomical and customised femoral stems are designed to transmit load to the metaphyseal part of the proximal femur in order to avoid stress shielding and to reduce resorption of bone. In a randomised in vitro study, we compared the changes in the pattern of cortical strain after the insertion of hydroxyapatite-coated standard anatomical and customised stems in 12...

OBJECTIVE To review the indication of surgical treatment of solitary proximal end of femur osteochondromas, and present our experience as regards the approach for a complete and safe resection. MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective study of a series of 6 symptomatic solitary proximal end of femur osteochondromas treated by en bloc resection by means of a single anterior or posterior-lateral app...

OBJECTIVE To determine the changes in perfusion to the proximal femur that occur during cemented and uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). DESIGN Case series. SETTING A single tertiary-care centre. PATIENTS Twenty-two consecutive patients. Those who had undergone previous hip surgery or received systemic corticosteroid therapy were excluded. INTERVENTION Cemented (11 procedures) or u...

While the incidence of hip fractures has declined during last decades, acetabular resulting from low-energy sideways falls increased, and mechanisms responsible for this trend remain unknown. Previous studies have suggested that body configuration impact plays an important role in a fracture. Thus, aim study was to investigate effect angles (trunk tilt angle, trunk flexion femur horizontal rota...

Objective: The main objective of the study was to compare proximal femoral nail and Twin interlocking cephalomedullary in terms short-term functional radiological outcome. Methods: 30 patients with unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures operated by a single surgeon were included study. 15 PFN group group. Modified Harris Hip score used assess Results: time union outcome comparable both grou...

Background: Osteoporosis progresses with advancing age. Estimation of bone mineral density (BMD) using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is valuable in predicting fracture risk the elderly. DXA machines however may not always be available under-resourced developing countries. Aim: To find values CTI and CFI normal adult young old, male female population Southern Punjab. Study design: Cross...

BACKGROUND When primary fixation of proximal femoral fractures with implants fails, revision osteosynthesis may be challenging. Tracts of previous implants and remaining insufficient bone stock in the proximal femur pose unique problems for the treatment. Intramedullary implants like proximal femoral nail (PFN) or surface implants like Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) are few of the described impla...
